- Happy Holidays from the WR-BBS Headquarters BBS!
-
- In less than a month, WR-BBS will be officially released. You do not have to
- be a SysOp (or have a copy of WR-BBS) to use the WR-BBS Headquarters BBS. If
- you are a SysOp and are unhappy with your BBS software, or if you are toying
- with the idea of starting a board, you owe it to yourself to try WR-BBS, when
- it becomes available in January, 1993. The WR-BBS Headquarters BBS will be
- the support BBS for SysOps running WR-BBS.
-
- If you noticed that this system seemed less responsive during the past 6 days
- or so, this is because of a "torture test" that I was conducting with WR-BBS.
- I was running the program on a Toshiba T-1000XE laptop (which is an XT), with
- a V32.bis modem and the DTE locked at 19,200 baud. This unusual combination
- of low-performance PC and high performance modem was part of my beta test for
- support of error-correcting modems. It tested well, but ran noticably slower
- due to the XT and the sluggish UART that was in it. As of December 5th, the
- BBS is back on the 386SX-16 that it usually runs on, with a Hayes SmartModem
- 2400.
-
- As always, thanks for your patience during the beta testing.
